Conservative donors have engaged a major GOP consulting firm in Florida to research the feasibility of mounting a late, independent run for president amid growing fears that Donald Trump could win the Republican nomination.
A memo prepared for the group zeroes in on ballot access as a looming obstacle for any independent candidate, along with actually identifying a viable, widely known contender and coalescing financial support for that person. The two states with the earliest deadlines for independent candidates, Texas and North Carolina, also have some of the highest hurdles for independents to get on the ballot, according to the research.
All this research has to happen before March 16, when inevitably Trump is the nominee, so that we have a plan in place, a source familiar with the discussions said. March 16 is the day after the GOP primary in Florida, a winner-take-all contest that Marco Rubio supporters have identified as a must-win to stop Trump's early momentum.
Its critical some serious attention is given to this, the source said.
The document, stamped *confidential,* was authored by staff at Data Targeting, a Republican firm based in Gainesville, Fla. The memo notes that *it is possible to mount an independent candidacy but [it] will require immediate action on the part of this core of key funding and strategic players.*

They want Hildebeast. Imho, their perks will still be secure..
Republican Party - An extinct American political party that was founded by the Abolition Movement in the 1850’s, and played a major role in American politics until it committed suicide in 2016.
Loyalty oaths are one-way, you see.
“Conservative” donors - which ones would those be?
First the Mississippi Plan now the Alaska Plan (Murkowski).
These fake conservatives would rather burn this country down then see immigration and trade reform.
I would guess they don’t want the party taken over by a bully, a liar, conartist, you name it.
I would support this if Cruz or Rubio don’t secure the nomination.
My guess would be Jeb!’s donors.
How dare the voters elect their president?!
I mean, really!
The GOPe knows their con game is coming to an end.
The Cheap Labor Express will do whatever it takes to stop us from electing a President who would stop the illegal alien inundation.
The RNC/GOP appears unable to deliver the amnesty candidate they owe to The Cheap Labor Express.
The Cheap Labor Express donors
And by Donors, they really mean the Oligarchs: Rockefeller, du Pont, Morgan, Mellon, Ford, etc...
Here’s the list from 1937 (from Ferdinand Lundberg’s “America’s 60 Families):

This is a desperation you don’t see outside of some movies. I signed with Trump in early January and filed as an alternate delegate. Some of my political friends, allies in other campaigns, are horrified and want to do anything they can to stop Trump. What a time to be in politics!
Rest assured, if they do this, it will be the end of the GOPe. This move will guarantee a Hillary win. It is sickening.
The liberal democrats are giddy to hear this...
They love the idea....
So if one of the ineligible Cubans don’t get nominated, you want Hillary or Bernie to win?
isn’t that truly the most damning aspect of all of this?
Let me guess, Romney? He'll split the vote with Hillary.
